From her facebook,she explains why she had to withdraw:

Quote:

The tournament finished with the worst way..

yesterday it was a big day by winning singles and doubles! I was around 4 hours on court for the matches! My recovering was perfect..i did everything to be ready for today! This morning i was feeling really good physically and mentally! A bit more confidence with my game and my self!
I did the warm up before my singles match and i was feeling perfect and very happy to play! I was looking so forward for another BIG day!

I won the first set 6-4 and in the middle of the second set, at 3-3 i started to feel cramps in my left calf. After few games i felt the cramps to both legs...so it was impossible to keep playing. I had to retired from this match and also from the doubles. Very tough situation..very dissapoint it..

On top..all afternoon/evening..i don't feel good with the rest of the body.

I hope for a better day tomorrow! I will keep you posted!

Good afternoon guys!

I got back from Istanbul. It was a short trip..I lost first round vs a tough opponent.

The tournament was really good especially for a challenger! Great location..The hotel next to the water..and the Main Street with full of restaurants and shops! The courts close by! Very easy going! Accept the traffic We were walking every day to the courts..this means everything

From now on?? Clay courts starts! I had today my first practice! it was not bad after almost a year
Me and my team we decide to play few small tournaments instead of the big ones, just to get some more matches before RG!

So the weeks of Rome and Madrid I play in Trnava (Slovakia) and Prague (Czech) singles and doubles!

I will have few more days of practice here in Athens and then gooooo!

Wish you the best!

Re: Articles and news about the Goddess

I am still in Mexico as you probably know..It is my last tournament before i hit home, i am so excited to return to Europe, it was a long trip again. So far has been a great week here in Monterrey, having a lot of fun with the people here and the BEST is that i have one of the nicest persons next to me…my friend and manager John Morris. He is helping me out this week as i am without a coach at the moment. I lost my singles vs Voskoboeva in three sets, we played each other in Miami that was just 2 weeks ago. Funny…sometimes you don’t play players since years and years and now at my last two tournaments i played vs the same one and both times i lost. It was not easy mentally but i am very happy with the way i fought!! One player had to lose and it was me. She played better at the last 2-3 games of the match. Following day?? It was a day with no doubles. I had a good practice with a sparring of the tournament, a massage as my body needed it and watched some matches!
My doubles partner Coco Vandeweghe was playing her singles match, i was there to support her! Such a good fight..vs Bartoli! We decided to go all together for dinner…and what else here in Mexico?? Of course to a Mexican Restaurant. I never had so much tortillas and guacamole in all my life))) Just too good here!!!! It was a lot of fun)))
Today we had our doubles. We won in super tie break!! That was scary.. We lost 4 decision points at the first set and in 3 of those i made an easy mistakes. It was so tough to sit at the changeover and see the score board 4-6. I have to give all the credit to my partner for helping me out with her attitude!!! So nice to have a positive partner We managed to play a great tie break in the end and felt a bit of a relief with this victory!! I lost a couple of close matches the last few weeks and it is not easy mentally…but i am here to fight until the end and i will keep giving my best! Tomorrow is a new day, with the doubles match on my schedule! Looking so forward to rock with Coco after her singles Long day ached…but with a good energy! Off to bed for now…stay in touch…and?? i am a new Facebook fan!!!!!!!! Check it out Take good care, your Eleni.

Greetings to all of my friends and followers from me here in Monterrey, Mexico.

Right now I am chilling out in Starbucks with my friend John Morris after a solid day of training and fitness.

Tonight we will go to a nice Mexican restaurant hosted by the WTA and tomorrow I practice twice ahead of my first round match against Voskoboeva which I think will be Monday or Tuesday!

Have a great evening guys and an even better Easter Sunday and thank you all for your continued support!

Re: Articles and news about the Goddess

Blog:
She blogged about how it wasn't her best season but she ended it well and is satisfied that she achieved her goal of making the Australian Open MD

She basically talked about how her parents/family are always there for her to support her and she said that the economic situation in Greece is sad and it disappoints her that the other countries have a bad image of Greece and that she always tries to talk about the beauty of Greece in her interviews abroad. She also said that she has a dream to start a family one day because she loves children
